A new report is casting light on where more than $1 billion in campaign funds went after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election. The disclosure was included in campaign finance records reviewed by the Free Beacon, which showed that the Harris-Walz campaign made two payments of $250,000 to the National Action Network, one on Sept. 5 and another on Oct. 1. Sharpton founded the NAN in 1991 and was paid about $650,000 by the nonprofit group in 2021.Two days after the second donation, Sharpton aired a video of Harris on his show wishing him a happy birthday. And about three weeks later, the 70-year-old activist aired an interview with Harris tailored to meet the narratives of her campaign. He praised her "extraordinary historic campaign" and asked her if men who were opposed to her campaign were "misogynistic." He also describe then-candidate Donald Trump as "hostile and erratic." The Beacon noted that in neither video did Sharpton divulge to his audience that the Harris campaign had given his organization half a million dollars. Sharpton founded the NAN in 1991 and was paid about $650,000 by the nonprofit group in 2021. The report also documented $5.4 million in donations the Harris campaign made to Latino and black advocacy groups, including $2 million to the National Urban League, $150,000 to the Black Economic Alliance, and $150,000 to the Black Church PAC. Liberals have demanded to know how the Harris campaign could have spent more than a billion dollars in the election only to lose the electoral vote as well as the popular vote to President-elect Donald Trump. Many Democratic leaders have filed into a circular firing squad to blame each other and avoid taking responsibility for the historic debacle. The Beacon said neither MSNBC or the National Action Network responded to requests for comment about the story. Like Blaze News?

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts recently made a push to use "every minute" of the legislative session between now and President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration to confirm dozens of federal judges. Here is what Republican Senate leadership hopefuls had to say.Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida, John Thune of South Dakota, and John Cornyn of Texas are all vying to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who announced earlier this year that he would retire as the GOP leader following the election. When asked if they would allow Warren's Hail Mary confirmation blitz to go through the Senate, Scott had the most blunt response of the three senators.After Trump won the election and Republicans secured their Senate majority, flipping Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Montana, Warren posted about a "path forward" on social media, which included her pitch to cram last-minute federal confirmations."And Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President," Warren said. Republican leadership hopefuls provided varying responses to Warren's attempts to circumvent the incoming GOP government.When asked if they would allow Warren's Hail Mary confirmation blitz to go through the Senate, Scott had the most blunt response of the three senators. "Absolutely not," Scott told Blaze News. Cornyn's response was less direct. When Blaze News reached out to his office for a comment, we were pointed to a quote Cornyn gave the New York Times back in September.When the NYT asked about an end-of-year sprint from Democrats to confirm federal judges, Cornyn said, "I'll believe it when I see it." "I don't see a lot of time for judges and I don't see why we would make it easy for them," Cornyn continued. Thune, who has been critical of Trump over the years, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News. Like Blaze News?

Today was supposed to be the day I promised myself and so many others that I would make my stand before the selectively weaponized and corrupt Department of Justice and Washington, D.C., court system. Having had three and a half years to prepare for this day, I’d determined in my own mind — perhaps naïvely — that I’d be able to have my own “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” moment and make my stand. My case is a case of selective prosecution, not just against me but also against all those January 6 defendants who have been treated far more harshly than those who behaved equally or did far more violence and property damage — in this town — in the summer of 2020, on January 20, 2017, and even more recently in the pro-Palestinian demonstrations this year.My trial would be nothing more than a shaming exercise. Even though I was not accused of violence against law enforcement or any property damage, many saw my case as an example of glaring selective prosecution and a violation of my First Amendment right to be outspoken about my thoughts and opinions on January 6 before and after my arrival at the Capitol.Yet while I was documenting the protest and riotous behavior of some for roughly two hours, I behaved as professionally as any other reporter or photojournalist on the scene, including some 80 to 100 media persons of all types who also knowingly entered restricted spaces without permission from law enforcement.But the court would not allow the defense I hoped to begin today at trial. The court has denied my right to show selective prosecution by also denying our discovery request regarding how the government determined it was unnecessary to charge those other 80 to 100 media persons who also clearly, provably, and without permission from law enforcement breached exterior barricades clearly marked with “CLOSED AREA” signs and then accompanied both violent and peaceful protesters through broken windows and doors.Because of these last-minute rejections by the court during my pretrial hearing last Wednesday, I instructed my attorneys to notify the Justice Department and the court of my intention to change my plea to “guilty” on all four misdemeanor charges. As one of my attorneys stated, my trial would be nothing more than a shaming exercise. Apart from the fact that any J6 trial in this courthouse is a no-win scenario, today, I chose to deny the government the opportunity to put me through that senseless, waste-of-time shaming exercise.The government also withdrew its plea deal offer, which, had I taken it earlier in this process, would have let me plead guilty to the single glorified trespassing charge but also would have required me to waive my right to appeal. Unfortunately, the federal courts do not have a “no contest” option, and because the court refused our request for continuance, we did not have time to seek an “Alford plea,” which would have allowed me to maintain my innocence in the appeals process.In taking this action today, I not only deny the government its shaming exercise, but I also preserve my right to appeal should President Trump not come through on his campaign promise to pardon all nonviolent January 6 defendants.Nevertheless, I will continue fighting this weaponized judicial system in the court of public opinion and in the halls of Congress in the coming months and years … for as long as necessary.

MSNBC host Joy Reid remained on her far-left warpath following Vice President Kamala Harris' resounding loss to now President-elect Donald Trump last week, sharing some bad news with "white progressive women."Reid hopped on TikTok Saturday and said, "I just wanna give some free advice to the white progressives, particularly white progressive women, who may be thinking about marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the P-word hats and doing that thing. I would just say probably don't send any of those invites to any black women you know. I'm just gonna tell you right now they're not coming."'Yeah,' one commenter wrote to Reid. 'I'm going to be busy vacuuming my ceiling.'Reid continued: "Like, I'm pretty sure black women have resigned from the ‘Save America’ coalition, ‘Save Democracy’ coalition, and definitely the ‘Save the Democratic Party’ coalition. I think that's probably not happening; I would just keep those invites maybe among your own friends 'cause I don't think they're coming. … I think black women are now [focused] on the [goals of] save black women, prioritize black men, and prioritize black communities, black businesses, and ... the black spaces. But save America, save the Democratic Party? Yeah, I don't think that's happening."Indeed, Reid on election night complained that "white women" failed to come through for Harris in the battleground state of North Carolina — merely one of Harris' numerous crushing losses in the electoral vote tally."Black voters came through for Kamala Harris; white women voters did not," Reid lamented last week. "That is what appears happened in that state." She went on to say that the Harris campaign wasn't able to "flip enough white women" even though women in North Carolina "lost their reproductive rights."She added during MSNBC's broadcast, "That message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman, this will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have had to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy."How are observers reacting?In the comments underneath Reid's TikTok video, it appears other black women are agreeing — some rather hilariously — with her prediction that they'll be sitting out future activism for Democrats:"Yeah," one commenter wrote to Reid. "I’m going to be busy vacuuming my ceiling.""I can't I'mm washing my hair, it's gonna take 4yrs," another user announced."I’m tired!" another commenter shared. "I’m watching 227 reruns that day…""Facts! On a 4 year PTO…" another user stated."Thank you," another commenter said. "I'm tired of fighting for others. I have no fight in me right now."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

When you have a live service game on your hands, it must be a nightmare any time you want to change anything, especially when you’re adding something to the game. Titles like Destiny 2, Path of Exile, Warframe, or Once Human are always on a knife edge when it comes to alterations. Diablo 4 is no different, and the recent addition of the new Spiritborn class has seen some completely unintended effects cause this character’s power to skyrocket. With a midseason patch on the way, Spiritborn fans can rest assured that Blizzard won’t be hitting it with nerfs. Yet.
